Fantastic Neighborhood 37: Spooktacular?

Despite the hurricane and public transit shutdown, Fred and I (Jon) scraped (Skyped) together…something. After a spooky start, we chat RiffTrax, Dishonored, trying to get back to Borderlands 2, Argo, and playing Streets of Rage with a significant other. A less-than-tastefully named Hype section features Sega polygonal classics, Wreck-It Ralph, and Skyfall. Game Club features the penultimate chapter of Telltale’s The Walking Dead.

On a serious note, while we complain about having to Skype a podcast, we both fared really well in the hurricane. We lost nothing, not even cable. We’re both from the East Coast, and I spent my formidable years (read: high school) at the Jersey Shore, an area devastated by this storm. Our thoughts are with everyone who is struggling right now, but having people in your thoughts or prayers is the same as doing nothing, and the American Red Cross can always use help. Donate a little cash, if you’re able. To make a quick $10 donation, text REDCROSS to 90999. If you’d prefer to help out some four-legged, winged, or slithering friends in need, text HUMANE to 80888 to send $10 to the American Humane Association.

This week’s musical choices, except for the werewolf thing, reflect our love for our home states:

Our Latest Show

In this episode Fred and Jon wax poetically about all the space games, the space movies, and being pandered to with 80’s nostalgia. They had space in the 80s!

Jon also shamelessly plugs his new podcast, The Bro-C, the best and probably only The O.C. re-watch podcast on the earth. But not in space. If you are in space you should check it out though at www.thebro-c.com!
